Zachary Quinto has debuted in a clever new commercial for Newcastle Brown Ale that poses the question of what things would be like if Britain had won the Revolutionary War.

After taking a swig of the ale, he says: 'What's up America? Newcastle has asked me to tell you about Independence Eve, their new holiday celebrating how much better things would be if the British ruled over America.'

He humbly explains: 'When you're as talented and amazing an actor as I am, everyone assumes you're a Brit playing an American.'

How anybody could spin it that Obama did anything other than clean the floor with that guy last night, I have no idea.'

'The hatred that people are leading with in this discussion is really, for me, the biggest symptom of how sick we are'
